Summary

Grab a beer and join us tonight as we continue our series on the FLDS! We'll follow Warren Jeffs as he tightens his grip on Short Creek, kicks kids out of public school, tears down community landmarks, and starts excommunicating longtime leaders while dumping so-called “lost boys” on the side of the highway. We’ll talk about his push to build new “lands of refuge” like the YFZ Ranch, how the forced marriages of underage girls escalated, and how law enforcement, former members, and the courts finally started to push back with raids, lawsuits, and criminal charges, all while Warren slips into hiding on the run from the FBI. https://www.necronomipod.com https://www.patreon.com/necronomipod Learn more about your ad choices.
